EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported to the enchanting world of Hindu mythology. The image showcases the revered Elephant-headed Hindu god, Ganesh, and his loyal companion, a rat. Ganesh, known as the remover of obstacles and lord of beginnings, is depicted with an elephant's head symbolizing wisdom and intelligence. His serene countenance radiates divinity and spiritual grace. As one of the most worshipped deities in India, Ganesh holds immense significance in Hinduism. The presence of a rat alongside Ganesh adds another layer to this intriguing composition. In Hindu folklore, rats are believed to be vehicles for gods or goddesses and represent fertility and prosperity. It is said that Lord Ganesh rides on a rat as he travels through various realms. This photograph beautifully captures the essence of faith and devotion found within Indian culture. The vibrant colors evoke a sense of spirituality while highlighting the intricate details adorning both figures. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we cannot help but be captivated by its profound symbolism and cultural richness. It serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted religious traditions that have shaped Asia for centuries. Whether you are drawn to it for its artistic beauty or spiritual significance, this print invites us to explore the mystical realm where divinity intertwines with humanity – an awe-inspiring testament to faith in all its forms.
